See, everybody hates the French

Hate to disappoint you, ol man, but I'm an American. And there are balls in my pants. So which war were you in?
 
Reasons why France sucks.

France's Jewish population has suffered a spate of recent anti-Semitic attacks recently.

In the latest incident -- just hours before Saturday's marches -- arsonists threw petrol bombs into a Jewish sports club in southern France, damaging furniture and sports equipment.

Police said the door to the Maccabi club, in Toulouse, was forced open and petrol-filled bottles thrown inside. No one was injured.

On Friday an unexploded home-made bomb was found in a Jewish cemetery in eastern France that had already been a target of arsonists earlier in the week.

In southern France, three men admitted throwing petrol bombs and setting ablaze a building containing a synagogue in the city of Montpellier earlier this week.

In Paris, police have questioned five suspects accused of throwing petrol bombs at a synagogue on Wednesday.

The government has condemned the anti-Semitic violence and increased police surveillance of Jewish religious sites.

Seems many a violent people there would like to kill Jews and get rid of Israel?

Reminiscant of Hitler and Nazi Germany. No wonder they support Iraq knowing very soon Iraq would probably send in some nukes or chemicals to Israel I am sure many in France support those notions. We are talking about people that fire bomb synagouges here. I hardly think they are warm cuddly people and wouldn'y think twice about killing.

Sadly I am probably about 1/8 French. Yeck.
 
Doesn't sound anyhting like Nazi Germany.

And how is it that you generalize a whole country from the actions of a few people?
 
In defense of the French (did I just say that???), there are 5,000,000+ Muslims living there. A few (more?) have to be fundies.

edited because I can't even spell french while defending then

Now you've got me all upset. I'm about as pure French as you can get outside of France... Both my parents are of French decent. :eek:

Because of their stance on Iraq and the enourmous amounts of people demonstrating in their streets.

Oh how history repeats itself.

I am sure once again they will call on the US in times of need and war to help them reminisant of WWII and again 50 years later bash the very country that helped liberate them. How can I have any compassion for these people when I know many of them plain and simply hate America. I hear all the time on forums. It is a pretty common thing for Europe. I don't talk to many Europeans that really like the US.

The older people in their 50's to 70's I would like from France I am sure, it is the young idiots that don't remember what WWII was like which is why history repeats itself over and over that I would most likely prefer to kick to a curb. Much like Anti american americans that ran through the streets of Minneapolis vandalizing cars and ripping US flags off cars after the WTC disaster. I have no sympathy for them. Kickem' to the curb time.
 
:confuse3: That confuses me. I don't expect every country that benefitted from our participation in WW II to kiss our ass forever. They are allowed to have their own opinions on things ....aren't they? That was our whole purpose in the war. To keep them (and us) free. I get more upset with Americans who don't appreciate the sacrifices of their own in the defense of freedom...and those who think the continued effort is for someone else to do for them.

I just don't see the fact that they don't agree with you about Iraq as a reason to generalize the whole country as Nazi, Jew-killing, synagouge bombers.

Hey, my freedom of speech outlook says they suck. If you disagree with me that is your opinion as me thinking they suck is also mine.

No they don't have to kiss ass forever but I think at least for another 100 years or so:D Baby boomer generation was born to later use the american flag as ass wipe. I just don't see that as right.

I'm a "Boomer". I respect the flag. I've defended our flag. Have you?

Every single day.

I am talking about the younger generations in France. Do you think the old folk in that country hate America as much as the younger?

My wife is from S. Korea and their parents are very grateful for what the US did over there but now the younger generation has bought into the commie crap coming from the north and really hate the US. My wife said many of the younger generation embrace communism in South Korea and are generally the ones that protest against the US. Some how I have a feeling that it isn't any different over there in France's communist populus.
 
Classic case of the older generation embracing america.

South Koreans rally to support US military

AP[ SUNDAY, MARCH 02, 2003 01:41:07 AM ]

SEOUL: Tens of thousands of pro-US demonstrators jammed a downtown plaza in Seoul on Saturday to support the US troop presence in South Korea and condemn North Korea's suspected nuclear weapons programme.



Many in the crowd of mostly elderly people estimated at 100,000 by police waved South Korean and US flags. Others held placards reading: "We love America!" or "We oppose the withdrawal of US military from South Korea."



The rally in the South Korean capital was timed to coincide with a March 1 Korean holiday commemorating a failed nationwide revolt against Japanese imperial rule in 1919. Japan controlled the Korean Peninsula as a colony from 1910 to 1945.



But today's turnout was far less than the 500,000 expected by rally organisers.



Most of the demonstrators were military veterans and members of conservative civic groups. They released thousands of blue balloons that carried messages calling for peace and an end to North Korea's nuclear ambitions.



Banners called North Korean leader Kim Jong Il a "war maniac" and compared North Korea, an impoverished country suspected of developing nuclear weapons, to a "rabid dog that needs beating with a bludgeon."



"One atomic bomb dropped in Seoul would kill 5 million people in a blink. We must employ all means to stop the North from developing nuclear bombs," a statement said.

Classic case of the young being influenced by the commies in Korea.

The massive and influential South Korean student movement (students have always had a huge influence on South Korean politics) is demonstrating against the US troop presence, which is not a good sign -- not at all. Tensions over the US troop presence almost boiled over when two 14-year-old girls were run over and killed by a US armored personnel carrier north of Seoul last June. A court marshall of the drivers of that APC acquitted them, causing widespread demonstrations in the ROK.

It's quite possible that South Korean demonstrations against the United States are, at least to some extent, spurred on by North Korean agents and subersives. It's been done before, the DPRK is very good at it, and there's no reason to assume it isn't happening now. The fact is, however, that the South Koreans are upset.

Same shit in France/Europe just a different day.
 
ol' man, my point was are you now or have you ever been in the armed services? Or do you just go around calling people who don't think like you communists? You're not defending the flag by telling others their thoughts don't count.

What does that matter if I have served in the armed forces or not? If I have not am I suppose to bow at your feet and regard your opinion as fact? I know alot of people that have been in the services that left the services hating the US government and I would hardly call them patriotic, quite the opposite.
 
Settlement idea's:

the French suck because they're French & not because they hate America.

All Americans can hate this country but the servicemen & women have earned that honor.

Democrat does not mean socialist or communist but it's heading down that road.

Republican does not mean klansman but if it leans a little farther right it could mean it's anti-social.

saddam stays-but we get his oil.:dance:

No, ol' man. You don't have to accept anything I say. I just thought from your zest in labling others as communists that you must've been one of those in the picture of the flag raising at Iowa Jima...... I served to protect my right to speak my mind freely (among others).... i don't like being labled commie or hippy or anything else just because I don't agree with a proposed war.... Especially by someone who has never felt the need to do their part and serve this country.

I seem to have this uncanny ability to know when I'm talking to one...

Nice try, Gonz, but some things just have to be said.... :D
